was at the carnival@marina on monday with the school. went around collecting posters, taking photos and seeing the usual army vehicles and equipment. its amusing how the government entertain the little ones by having such army road shows...getting to sit on the tanks, ships and trucks as rides and getting the soilders to act as entertainers, guides and those that drive past in their fire engines and start waving at you. hahas. no disneyland here? not a problem. we got armyland! ;)
the layout was huge and 3hours wasn't enough time to cover everything. considering the rain delayed most of the "rides and attractions" something caught our eyes and we couldnt resist but spend the rest of our time we had on it - TABLE SOCCER! lol. so much for national education.
despite the horrible weather being hot and humid, we had great fun there.
since my parents were on holidays too yesterday, we decided to see showflats around the west. guess we're too used to the west already. shifting to the east would be like migrating to a foreign land for us. my father particularly liked the idea of buying two 2-room units side by side in a condo. my bro and i staying in one while my parents next door. said it could be alot easier for us in the future that way. if my bro decided to get married and shift out or take over the house, then i could move back in with my parents, or me vice versa. hahas... i dunno, but my bro and i wasn't keen on the idea. afterall all the 2 room units at lake holmz were sold out and so it looks like that isn't gonna be the case. my father wasn't impressed with any of the houses we saw... so i guess we have no plans to shift for the time being at least until we can find one at pleases him.
managed to catch the fireworks display at jurong east from my house. seemed more like a forest fire though. hahas. well it was nice, but seriously the i think the best way to experience NDP, is to be a part of it. as in taking part in the parade or performances and stuff. was surprising that the camera crew focused quite alot on the supporting contingents especially red cross as compared to previous years.
oyes. before i forget, HAPPY NATIONAL DAY TO ALL!
and finally... the photos. enjoy! ;)
